Beyond the Spotlight
From the highest-grossing actor of all time, Samuel L. Jackson, alongside his Tony Award-nominated wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson to Kristen Bell, and sports icons Shaquille O'Neal and Joe Namath to the wildly popular influencer MrBeast - these are the intriguing people who capture our attention, fill our social feeds, and shape pop culture. Each of the six hour-long episodes takes an intimate tone, featuring the deeply profound conversations that happen out of the spotlight when people share, in their own words, what truly inspires them.
